Total Commander

Hi,

When searching for a file, I sometimes notice that it's searching a large subfolder that I would like to skip during the search; would it be possible to pause the search, indicate which part of the current subfolder I'd like to skip, and resume?

For instance, I have launched a search in my folder c:\dev\1 and I'm currently in a c:\dev\1\foo\bar\packages\xx\yy\zz folder and I know that it's probably not in the c:\dev\1\foo\bar\packages at all. I would like to pause, indicate to skip anything under c:\dev\1\foo\bar\packages (including that folder), and resume.

(Of course, I don't know in advance which folders I'd like to skip, it's just that if it's taking too long in a given folder, I'd like to skip it).

Hi,

in Total Commander it is possible to use the external tool 'Everything' [with its own parameters] for a search query.
You will also get search results in real time if you perform a search directly in 'Everthing'.

If you use one of these two options, you will probably not be able to *pause the search*,
because you usually have the search result available immediately and without significant delay [in TC].
